iPhone 3G Released

The iPhone 3G, to be launched for $199 US (8GB) on July 11th, was released today by Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs. The iPhone 3G will feature a different black or white design, faster data downloads, and a revised software version.

Yeah, well, here's the catch, it's going to be $10 more a month to use iPhone 3G. That's $30 a month. Although it may not seem like a lot, I'll never use the GPS service, let alone, a few of the newest features. I kinda like the old iPhone purely because it would have been only $20 a month.

Plus, I'm buying a Mac for school next year, which can come with a free iPod Touch...soo...what's the point of having something similar to another?

Well this is it isnt it , i mean Apple are selling the iphone for $199... max. . but its up to retailers as to how much its going to sell for , Sky news and o2 have said that the phone will be £100 on a £45 - £75 contract and . the lower the contract the higher the phone so .. dont get hopes up yet people !

This looks great. When I sell my iPod and my (fairly-new) mobile phone, I will be able to afford one. I like the idea of a combined iPod and Phone, and its now within my affordability. Hopefully my O2 contract allows it...

Actually, that $30/month is only for the 3G (unlimited) data. You have to add another $40 for the bottom-of-the-line AT&T voice plan, which = $70/month (compared to $60/month on the old iPhone).

That's what I meant, but still. I'm going into higher education next year, and I don't think I can afford to pay THAT much a month for a toy. I haven't had Xbox Live since February! haha

I queued outside a O2 store for about an hour to be 5th in line to get my hands on the iPhone and have loved it ever since I got it and will be doing the same for when iPhone 3G comes out in just a few days time!

By the way to Biohead, I've heard that every iPhone will have to be activated instore when purchased.

They still have really bad advertisements spammed all over Networking sites!
